I do have the most current version of Max and Jitter, which I think could be the problem. Last time I opened the patch was on the old MacBook with the last version of Jitter, so it’s got to be one of those.

The reason I posed this to the list is because I cannot even open the patch without it crashing. I must have been exhausted last night because I didn’t realize I could just move the models out of the search path.

Still don’t understand why it’s not working. I have six .obj files that are between 3 and 84mb in size. Loading any one of them crashes Max immediately.

Could be a long shot, but I had problems when converting .stl (stereolithography) files to .obj, using AccuTrans. I first converted it and it seemed to make the .obj file correctly, but the "group" command (the "g" at top) was commented out. This crashed Max when I tried to load it. When I made it with groups enabled (the "g" wasn’t commented out) they worked fine. Maybe check your .obj file text and see if that’s what’s happening…?

@zach, what version of MaxMSP do you have installed? If this continues with the most recent version available for download, we’ll want to have a look at the OBJ files that are causing you trouble. Send an email to support@cycling74.com with a link to download the troubled OBJ files.
